A backyard oasis is not complete without a swimming pool. However, installing a pool is both an important purchase and a lifestyle commitment that both family and friends will enjoy for years to come. The project outcome is only as good as the workers who install the pool. Hiring the best new pool installers in Islip NY is critical to achieving the desired result. Asking these questions will help to make the right choice.
What Kind of Pool Does the Homeowner Want?
Pool liners are made of concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl. Give some thought ahead of time to which type of material is desired and consult installers who have had success with that type of pool material. Most installers will lean towards one type of material and may not have the best experience with another material.
Can They Show Past Examples of Their Work?
When evaluating pool installers, be sure to request examples of work they have already finished for other customers. That will give a homeowner a good idea of the type of work possible in their backyards.
Do They Offer Warranties?
A warranty will protect the homeowner from any mistakes a contractor may make during the installation. Although skilled installers will not make many mistakes, they can happen. In that situation, the pool company should agree to fix the situation.
Are They Licensed and Insured?
Never work with a pool installer unless they are licensed and insured. Homeowners could be liable for any number of accidents occurring during the installation if the contractor lacks adequate insurance. A professional pool installer will have no problem showing proof of coverage ahead of time so homeowners can have peace of mind.
What About Maintenance?
Pools need to be maintained, and a homeowner must decide if they want to take on that task themselves or hire it out. They may be able to save some money by signing a long-term contract with a pool installer who offers maintenance.
